BILL and Melinda Gates are getting divorced – and she could get a multi-billion dollar settlement from the fourth richest man in the world.
The Microsoft co-founder, who is worth a whopping $124billion, posted the news to his official Twitter account on Monday as the Gates empire and fortune now hang in the balance.
Gates said they decided to “end our marriage” after a “great deal of thought and a lot of work” – two years after his wife admitted that marital life was “really hard.”
